A vintage photo of the gas station on Glenstone Avenue where Bonnie & Clyde got gas when they captured Tom Percell. It became the Quik Spud store, and now has been totally renovated with the addition of a large metal building to the north. Queen City Oil, starting out as a flour and feed store, was built by Emral Brock and Oscar Hawkins in 1929. They soon started selling Standard gas, then Mobil, along with tires and dry goods. In 1939 a viaduct was built over them, effectively bypassing the station.<\/p>\n

Today the building looks like this as of December 2017 when I took the shots.<\/p>\n

The original stretch of 66 as it appears today, it’s just a stones throw from that station and it’s pretty narrow. Still in good shape.<\/p>\n
